Cerebrovascular disorder treatment

Cerebrovascular disease treatment varies depending on the specific condition and symptoms you have. In most cases, you need to start treatment quickly to minimize damage to brain tissue.

Treatment options for cerebrovascular disorders include:

Endovascular treatments

 Interventional neuroradiologists identify and remove clots using small catheters inserted into the brain's arteries.

Microsurgery

 We are leaders in the mini (keyhole) craniotomy, a microsurgery technique where we make a very small opening in the skull to access blood vessels.

Radiosurgery

 We may use radiosurgery to reach small, unruptured AVMs. We use small, precise doses of radiation to shrink and destroy irregular blood vessels.
